Question

If the light is completely polarized by reflection, then angle between the reflected and refracted light is

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

There is one particular angle of incidence, called polarizing angle (θ_p) or Brewster’s angle at which polarization of the reflected ray is complete. This happens when reflected ray and refracted ray are at right angles to each other.
